I keep waiting around for a good time to go back to school and I'm becoming convinced that'll never happen so I'm looking into Distance Learning.
One of my jobs is midnights where I have a lot of free time so I could get some done there, plus I won't have to drive an hour each way to the nearest school that has my program.

What I'm wondering is:
Do employers take online degrees seriously or are the seen as "less than" other degrees?
FWIW the only schools I'm looking into are ACTUAL accredited nonprofit 4 year universities in my state.
I work in a very technical field (tax and tax law) and I noticed that some masters degreed employees were very weak in research and writing (which are heavily emphasized in traditional programs.) These employees had online masters. Now I ask specific questions in interviewing and have not hired any more online grads.
